what is weird to me is how some of these camps,houses etc that have been on the water for 80-100 years and the water is exactly where its always been.

Have you ever driven down Hwy 1? You think those people build their homes and camps in the middle of the bay?

Curious how 130 million people just move. What about infrastructure? The economic cost would be staggering.

Right again, but the point made is they chose to live near the ocean/water and that leads to risks. Large cities next to the coast is new world stuff and that's only a fraction of a fraction of another fraction of time on this planet.

C'mon, now. What about "accenuating" a national river from its delta? What about poorly designed O&G erosion mitigation?

Well, they're not moving tomorrow. They have all the time they need. And, yes infrastructure cost would be significant over time to relocate that many people, but that is our own fault for locating that many people on the coast to begin with. This is entirely a modern human problem. Ancient man was smart enough to not do that.

You think thats attributed to the sea level rising? lol

So cities like Byzantium, Alexandria(not CenLa), Carthage, Athens, Genoa, Marseilles, etc etc etc don't count?

Yes partially

don’t count for what . . .

[Turbine]

Yes partially

That sinking feeling is the accurate feeling.

[CajunVic]

That sinking feeling is the accurate feeling.

I am always better when I seam to float . . . maintaining sea level is good for life . . .

You still stuck in modern times when you consider our planet is 4.6 billion years old.

Exactly

[CajunVic]

Exactly

. . . The everybody should listen to a guy who deals in products that are millions of years old . . .

Cajun Field when built was -2 ft below sea level in 1970.

With all this global warming/climate change happening and using modern satellite data that is accurate to within a fraction of an inch. Today, 54 years later Cajun Field is now all the way down to -2 ft. At this rate of change it is projected that Cajun Field will be at huge risk as it will drop even lower to -2 ft in just 25 years.
